If like me you grow weary of the constant back up routines from Time Machine, fear not, you can customize the back up frequency to your own liking with TimeMachineEditor (http://timesoftware.free.fr/timemachineeditor). Alternatively, one can navigate to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons and open the file; "com.apple.backupd-auto.plist". into a text editor, and look for this section:
<key>StartInterval</key>
<integer>3600</integer>
Edit the 3600 number to some other time in seconds to adjust Time Machine's backup scheduling.
